I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Research Triangle Park, NC) in Nov 2013
Interview
All interviews were conducted through WebEx. First interview was a little over 30 minutes and was very general in questions. Why did you apply? Can you explain your resume in great detail?
Prior to the second interview I was given a question that for which I had to make a video response. Then the second interview was with a hiring manager, followed by a 30 minute break and then two or three Cisco employees (all through WebEx). The hiring manager asked questions such as what's a switch? What's a router? Then the Cisco employees asked questions regarding my resume.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco (Brüssel) in Jan 2013
Interview
Interviews were well scheduled , but i didn't think they knew what they wanted for the role , after two interviews they said that they no longer wanted to fill the role . In all i have no regrets as i am now intervieing in a much better company. Cisco is a great company but they need to improve their hiring processes and be clear on what they need from the engineers.
